Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Supplemental Funding for Innovative Projects to Develop Best Practices for Monitoring School Vaccination Coverage and Exemption Rates," was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a Recovery Act-supported funding announcement. The focus is on strengthening and modernizing how jurisdictions track kindergarten vaccination coverage, school entry vaccination requirements, and exemption rates. In practical terms, the CDC is looking for innovative approaches that can be tested and then translated into repeatable, high-quality "best practices" that other immunization programs can use to improve the consistency, accuracy, and usefulness of school vaccination monitoring.
Funding is limited and competitive within a defined pool. The CDC estimated a total of approximately $600,000 available in fiscal year 2009, with the intent to make three awards. Individual award amounts were expected to fall between an award floor of $150,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive under the terms provided.
Eligibility is restricted to a specific set of existing CDC immunization grantees rather than being open to the general public. Only the 64 grantees already funded under RFP IP08-803 were eligible to apply for this supplemental funding. The rationale given is that these current grantees already have the infrastructure and experience needed to carry out the required activities, making them capable of starting quickly and delivering results within the ARRA timeframe and expectations. This also implies the program is designed as an add-on to ongoing immunization program work rather than a stand-alone new initiative for first-time applicants.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA IP08-80304ARRA09. It was posted on June 2, 2009, and applications were due by July 2, 2009, with a hard deadline of 5:00 PM Eastern Time on the closing date. The opportunity was later archived on August 1, 2009. The listing describes the opportunity category and instrument type as "Other," and it is categorized under Recovery Act activities, indicating it was supported by ARRA supplemental funds intended to stimulate and strengthen public health capacity during that period.
The core purpose of the funding is developmental and practice-oriented: awardees would be expected to explore, pilot, or refine innovative methods for monitoring kindergarten vaccination compliance and exemption patterns, and then convert what works into documented, transferable best practices. While the brief summary does not list specific allowable methods, the wording points to approaches that could improve data collection, validation, reporting, and comparability across schools or districts, as well as approaches that better capture how entry requirements and exemption policies are implemented in real settings. The intended outcome is not just better local data, but guidance and proven approaches that can inform broader immunization program operations.
For applicants or stakeholders who needed the full announcement but had trouble accessing it electronically, the CDC provided a contact route through PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700, along with a general email address (not fully shown in the excerpt). The announcement also referenced an additional information link directing readers to the full announcement for complete requirements, application instructions, and any detailed expectations around deliverables and reporting.
